>>39408You need a sneak peek key and/or a preorder code that gets you into all the closed betas. Check the Tera homepage, you can get one there.

>>39409A bit of both. So far there's not been much in the way of loli simulator outside of being a fucking kawaii loli, but the combat is fast and fun. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was after being less than amused by corean gameplay videos.

I want to give the game a try but the installation somehow filled up over 30 GB of my USB drive and then the drive was 100% full when the installer was patching the client. When I restarted the installer, it started patching again, but I guess it didn't delete the temporary files from the previous session and failed to patch again from the drive being full despite me removing 10+ GB of stuff from the drive to make room for the game. What the hell. I went and deleted what I thought were the temp files, but I guess there were downloads of the client mixed there as well, since the installer is now going back from 0%. Fuck. Downloading at 700 KB/s is not kawaii at all.

especially while leveling, where every 5 levels the attack power of weapons and damage reduction from armor doubles (meanwhile you will be wearing stuff 2-5 levels below you unless you're a lancer/priest with instant queue dungeon times, and not the best of equipment at that).

you'll find more of people will run up to you and 1-shot you, or they tickle you and you rape them. There really isn't a middleground at all, and there's no way for them or you to know which will happen until somebody starts attacking.

But when you are in the mid 30's-40's and the real grind starts, a bit of world pvp is a nice change of pace. Also, if you are outside of channel 1, you will rarely if ever find anybody pvp flagged.

It's next to impossible to play a healer when you get matched up with BRs or mexicans, which is a good 80% of the time. Usually what happens is one of the dps takes damage for not paying attention and proceeds to run in front of me or run around in a circle until they die. This often results in the tank not getting healed and the chat getting flooded with HEALER NOOB and so forth. Most of the time I end up purposefully not healing people and calling them stupid beaners when they die.
